It's been almost 3/4 of a year since I took that leap of faith and shaved my hair off for a good cause. It was no mean bodacity (Kung Fu Panda!) that drove me but the notion that charity wasn't that far off; of course I knew, there was the subtle transition to friendship.
I'm waiting for a train.
There isn't much left to wait for because it's already there. It just takes a little bit of effort to construct your own wonderland. Cobb took decades structuring limbo's architecture; time and tide waits for no man unless you chase after it.
If there's anything I'm praying for, it's a self-realization. To full internalize and inhale the beauty of life. It becomes hard when my weekend is spent struggling to keep awake and juggling between homework and entertainment. Scouts is starting to become a thing of the past, when the Dogs just used to let loose during batch training. Now we just take turns barking, possibly up the wrong tree.
A train that will take you faraway.
How far from reality can you escape? The deeper you sink, the faster you drain. Inception is a movie, but dreams are ironically a matter of truth. To take the ambition one step further rather than wade in the depths of imaginary illusion requires that first step-spurred by burning passion and a reason to strive.
You know where you hope this train will take you.
Dreams don't start from no where; your subconscious generates it. The marred matrix of unconditional love and those occasional selfless sacrifices blot out your natural desire to reign sovereignty over all power and riches. You want something, everything if it takes that little effort, and you know where this is all going to go..
but you don't know for sure
No. You do. You just assume you don't.
But it doesn't matter
Somethings just brush off the surface, others cut throat-deep but certain circumstances calls for the latter to be regarded as the formal-a pretentious lie to comfort yourself.
for we'll be together
Your pick-up line cut short; your lie made truth.
Shut-up.
This train is a lie and so is the cake; steal my dreams and incept me.
Make me
believe
(that life is worth waiting for)
